This simple desk was commissioned by a client looking for a rustic, character-filled piece that made use of a bare-bones design. Lumber salvaged from an old Missouri barn was the perfect choice, and in keeping with the vintage theme, a variety of time-tested, traditional woodworking joinery methods were implemented to hold everything together. Special attention was paid to flattening the top without removing too many of the saw blade marks left by a saw mill many, many decades ago.
